We are
gradually adding liturgies and liturgy ideas to our site.
Whilst many were written for specific purposes or occasions, many are
adaptable to suit others.

Many of the
pages are "decorative" but material can simply be cut and pasted into a
word-processing program.

You are
welcome to use our liturgies - but please remember to acknowledge our
copyright and, where appropriate, give our web-address. We are
always thrilled to get feedback - contact us at
liturgyATwellsprings.org.uk!

Coming Home to
God: a Penitential Liturgy (based on the Prodigal Son)We
have said to God –
“Give me what I deserve
– what is rightfully mine”
and when He seems to refuse,
we say that He has not answered our prayer:

Raised on
Eagles' Wings
Thus says the
Lord,
"See how I have freed you from the house of oppression
and borne you as if on eagles' wings
to bring you to myself."

A
God who heals
Come to the Lord all you who are troubled and sad
Come to our Lord, who is tenderness and compassion;
the God who heals every one of your ills.

Liturgy of Loss and Lament (Good Friday)As
